Mount Pleasant wrestle Donnie Ament took the 145-pound title at the Powerade Tournament at Canon McMillan. Ament picked up a 5-3 decision over Matt Epperly of Christiansburg in the finals. Teammate Lee Vanella (125) won by injury default over Trinity's Grant Lowther to nab a fifth.

Connellsville's Ashtin Primus suffered a 10-0 major decision loss in the 135-pound championship match against Parkersburg's Brandon Rader. Primus settled for second place, but he had plenty of company in the final rounds. Steve Bell (125) earned a third by pinning Chase Skonieczny of Walsh Jesuit, and Zach Snyder (140) and Jason Doppelheuer (171) each brought home a fifth. Snyder won by injury default over Freedom's Damian Rose, and Doppelheuer defeated Canon McMillan's Jim Ellis the same way. Buddy Sines lost a 4-2 decision to Canon McMillan's Dennis Cole in the fifth-place match at 152, and Eric McGinnis (130) made it to the seventh-place match against Christiansburg's Sid Humphreys before an injury sidelined him.

Connellsville's Josh Martin made it to the sixth round of consolations before losing by decision. Tyler Nicholson (103), Kody Pujia (112) and Josh Brewer (215) all lost in the fourth round of wrestlebacks.

Mount Pleasant's Ed Moorhead and Paul Snyder advanced to the third round of consolations, where both were pinned.

The Falcons finished second as a team, piling up 142.5, behind Mount St. Joseph's 167.5. The Vikings placed 23rd with 59 points.

Connellsville will return home to take on Ringgold on Jan. 5, and Mount Pleasant will visit Yough that day.

Terms of Service.

We moderate comments. Our goal is to provide substantive commentary for a general readership. By screening submissions, we provide a space where readers can share intelligent and informed commentary that enhances the quality of our news and information.

While most comments will be posted if they are on-topic and not abusive, moderating decisions are subjective. We will make them as carefully and consistently as we can. Because of the volume of reader comments, we cannot review individual moderation decisions with readers.

We value thoughtful comments representing a range of views that make their point quickly and politely. We make an effort to protect discussions from repeated comments either by the same reader or different readers

We follow the same standards for taste as the daily newspaper. A few things we won't tolerate: personal attacks, obscenity, vulgarity, profanity (including expletives and letters followed by dashes), commercial promotion, impersonations, incoherence, proselytizing and SHOUTING. Don't include URLs to Web sites.

We do not edit comments. They are either approved or deleted. We reserve the right to edit a comment that is quoted or excerpted in an article. In this case, we may fix spelling and punctuation.

We welcome strong opinions and criticism of our work, but we don't want comments to become bogged down with discussions of our policies and we will moderate accordingly.

We appreciate it when readers and people quoted in articles or blog posts point out errors of fact or emphasis and will investigate all assertions. But these suggestions should be sent
via e-mail. To avoid distracting other readers, we won't publish comments that suggest a correction. Instead, corrections will be made in a blog post or in an article.
